Chairman Winborne reports that the Young Democratic Clubs of North Carolina are particularly active and enthusiastic and are cooperating close ly with the county Democratic chair man all over the Slate. Tempest in Teapot ill A “tempest in a teapot” has been stirred up as a result of the presen tation to Governor Gardner last week of a petition to save the state from modem educators, and the appearance of such so-called undesirables at the State University and N. C. College for Women as Bertrand Russell, phil osopher, and Langston Hughes, ne gro poet, the brocure being signed by some 300 citizens, many of them prom- ment in many walks of life. Governor Gardner received the pe tition, presented by L. A. Tatum, Bel mont, who is described as an Al Smith Democrat, formerly a protes- ! tant, now a Catholic, and former cot ton broker, and said h<> would place it before the University trustees at their next meeting. David Clark, j textile magazine editor, who has for merly railed against the appearance of “communists and socialists” as speakers at the University, is credit ed with intigating the petition, which has been in circulation for several months. Preachers, lawyers, editors, mer chants and many prominent citizens are in the list of signers, among them Bishop J. Kenneth Pfohl, Mo ravian church, Winston-Salem; Edi tor Wade Harris, Charlotte Observer; Mayor C. E. Lambeth, Charlotte; W. H. Belk and J. B. Efird, heads of department store strings, and others. * * * Election Board Major L. P. McLendon, Durham, prim.ary campaign manager for J. C. B. Ehringhaus, Democratic nomi nee for Governor, has been named by Governor Gardner as a member of the State Board of Elections, and elected chairman to succeed Judge J. Craw ford Biggs, resigned, since he is can didate for Presidential elector-at- large in .the state. W. A. Lucas, Wil son, was named to fill the place vacat ed by George McNeill, Fayetteville, Democratic nominee for State Sena tor. John C. Sikes, Monroe, is the third Democratic member, the two Republican members being Adrian Mitchell, Windsor and Raleigh, and F. D. Hamrick, Rutherfordton. Gov- eiTior Gardner lauded Judge Boggs and the board for the fairness, and efficiency with which they adminis tered the new Australian Ballot Law. * * m Socialists Busy ^ Howard W'. Glasgow, Fairmont, Ky., located in Raleigh and working in and out of this city, is one of the several representatives of the So cialist party who are seeking to get the 10,000 signers required by the State Board of Elections in order that the party may have names of presi dential electors printed on the bal lots to be voted for electors in the general election November 8. Th election board applied the same requirements for Presidential electors that are now applied by law to can didates for State offices, that of re quiring 10,000 names to a petition before the names of electors can be put on the ticket. Signers do not pledge to vote the Socialist ticket, the only requirement being that they be legal registered voters in th State. Numbers of people are signing the petition who announce that they will i vote for Democratic or Republican I electors, but want the Socialists to I have a chance to have electors voted for. Merrill Michale of Thagards had an exciting experience Monday after noon when his mule ran away on the hill going do'.vn to the river. He was hauling a load of hay and corn, and behind had a mowing machine in tow. The hill is steep, the mule was of his fv/n mind about things, and with the wagon, its load, and the mowing machine singing a song on the steep grade and two boys on the load en couraging things the mule started to hurry. As he hurried the loaded wag on gained in momentum, and the mule stepped lively to get out of the way. ■■^t the foot of the hill is a bridge across the crcek, making a sharp turn in the road. The driver lost one of his reins, then as he saw that the mule was not obeying the rudder he slid off the load, his two companions scattering as the procession made its way down the steep declivity. The mule missed the end of the railing at the bridge. The wagon did not. The mowing machine swerv’ed around the tangle in a cross cut for the creek. The load of hay piled up with the wi-eckage of the wagon, some of the hay and corn floated down the creek, some mixed with the remnants of the wagon on the bridge, and some re mained in sufficient condition of rec ognition to indicate what it had been. The wreck was about ninety-nine per cent perfect. As a car came down the hill from‘the other side of the crcek the mule with part of its har ness and a portion of the front gear of the wagon dropped off the side of the road at the end of the bridge and turned down the stream in the woods. The boys cleared the bridge of the miscellaneous mixture of things and then set out to recover the mule.
